INTRODUCTION

The Raven SCS 4600 (SPRAYER CONTROL SYSTEM) is designed to improve the uniformity of sprayer/

spreader applications. Its performance relies on the installation and preventive maintenance of the

complete sprayer. It is important that this Installation and Service Manual be reviewed thoroughly before

operating the system. This manual provides a simple step-by-step procedure for installing and operating.

The SCS 4600 system consists of a computer-based control Console, a Speed Sensor, a turbine type Flow

Meter or Encoder, a motorized or hydraulic Control Valve, and appropriate cabling. The Console mounts

directly in the cab of the vehicle for easy operator use. The Radar Speed Sensor is mounted to the frame

of the vehicle or implement (other speed sensors are also available). For liquid applications, the motorized

Control Valve and Flow Meter mount to the framework supporting the boom. Injection modules (if applicable)

mount to the framework of the sprayer with the In-line Mixer mounted just before the Boom On/Off Valves.

For granular applications, the Hydraulic Control Valve mounts to the framework of the vehicle and the

Encoder mounts to the conveyor drive shaft. Appropriate cabling is required for field installation.

The operator sets the target application rate to be applied and the SCS 4600 automatically maintains the

application rate regardless of vehicle speed or gear selection. A manual override switch allows the operator

to manually control application for system check-out and spot spraying. Actual volume per area or weight

per area being applied is displayed at all times. The SCS 4600 additionally functions as an area monitor,

speed monitor, and volume totalizer.

The SCS 4600 in conjunction with a DGPS receiver, has the additional capability to record valuable

application data. This information is recorded in different formats to best fit the users needs. The data is

transfered via a CF Card (Compact Flash) to an office computer.

This manual is divided into three sections. Section 1 contains information for setting up the control console

for Liquid or Granular Applications. Section 2 contains information specific to Granular Applications.

Section 3 provides an overview of Controller Area Network, or CAN, Applications.

NOTE: The SCS 4600 control system is designed to be used with external boom switches. In order

for the system to know when and which boom is ON or OFF, boom signal wires are provided.

LIQUID AND GRANULAR

APPLICATIONS

CONSOLE CALIBRATION

1. CALCULATING "BOOM CAL" (LIQUID APPLICATIONS)

1) Broadcast Spraying

Calculate the width of each boom in inches [cm] by multiplying the number of tips times the spacing.

Write these boom widths down for future reference when programming the Console.

FIGURE 4

2) Band Spraying

Calculate the width of each boom in inches [cm] by multiplying the number of tips by the spacing.

Calculate the Adjusted Applied Rate by multiplying the Broadcast Rate by Band Width in inches [cm]

divided by Spacing in inches [cm].

EXAMPLE: Broadcast Rate = 20 GPA [200 lit/ha]

Spacing = 40 inches [100 cm]

Band Width = 14 inches [40 cm]

Adjusted Applied Rate= GPA x Band Width

Spacing

= 20 x 14 = 7 GPA

= [200] x [40] = [80 lit/ha]

[100]

2. CALCULATING "SPEED CAL"

Initial SPEED CAL is 598 [152] when using the Raven radar. Complete Steps 1 thru 6 to refine this

number after "INITIAL CONSOLE PROGRAMMING" has been completed.

1) Set POWER switch to ON, all other switches to OFF.

2) Enter "0" in .

3) Drive 1 mile [1 kilometer]. To achieve the most accurate calibration, accelerate and decelerate

slowly.

CAUTION: Do not use vehicle odometer to determine distance. Use section lines or

highway markers.

4) Read DISTANCE by depressing .

DISTANCE should read a value of approximately 5280 [1000]. If it reads between 5260-5300 [990-

1010], the SPEED CAL for the vehicle is 598 [152]. If the DISTANCE display reads any other value,

perform the following calculation:

EXAMPLE: Assume DISTANCE reads 5000 [980].

Corrected SPEED CAL =

Old SPEED CAL x 5280

DISTANCE

ENGLISH UNITS: METRIC UNITS:

= 598 x 5280 = 631.48 = [152] x [1000] = [155]

5000 [980]

5) The number to enter for SPEED CAL is 631 [155].

6) Recheck the new SPEED CAL derived in Step 5 by repeating Steps 2 thru 4.

3. CALCULATING "METER CAL" (LIQUID APPLICATIONS)

The Flow Meter calibration number is stamped on the tag attached to each Flow Meter. Write down

this number for future reference when programming the Console.

LIQUID AND GRANULAR

APPLICATIONS

Valve Backlash Digit Controls the time of the first correction pulse after a change

in correction direction is detected. (INC to DEC -or- DEC to

INC).

Range: 1 to 9 1-Short Pulse

9-Long Pulse

Valve Speed Digit Controls response time of Control Valve motor.

CAUTION: Running the Control Valve too fast will cause the

system to oscillate.

Standard Valve Control Range:1 to 9 1-Slow

9-Fast

Fast, Fast Close Valve Control Range:0 to 9 0-Fast

9-Slow

PWM, PWM Close Valve Control Range:0 to 9 0-Slow

9-Fast

Brake Point Digit Sets the percent away from target rate at which the Control

Valve motor begins turning at a slower rate, so as not to

overshoot the desired rate.

Range: 0 to 9 0 = 5%

1 = 10%

9 = 90%

Dead-Band Digit Allowable difference between target and actual application

rate, where rate correction is not performed.

Range: 1 to 9 1 = 1%

9 = 9%

4. CALCULATING "VALVE CAL"

The initial recommended Control Valve calibration number for VALVE CAL is 2123 for Standard

Valve, 743 for Fast Close Valve, 743 for Fast Valve, 43 for PWM Valve or 43 forPWM Close Valve.

The VALVE CAL number is used to control response time of the control valve motor to the change

in vehicle speed. After operating the system, this number may be refined. See definitions below:

For FAST VALVE For PWM VALVE

For STANDARD VALVE: or FAST CLOSE VALVE: or PWM CLOSE VALVE:

5. CALCULATING "RATE CAL" (LIQUID APPLICATIONS)

Determine the application rate at which chemical is to be sprayed. Consult with a dealer to ensure

these spray nozzles are capable of applying at this rate. In determining which spray nozzles to use

with the sprayer the following must be known:

1) Nominal Application Pressure ___ PSI [kpa]

2) Target Application Rate ___ GPA [lit/ha]

3) Target Speed ___ MPH [km/h]

4) Nozzle Spacing ___ inches [cm]

From this information, calculate the volume per minute, per nozzle as follows:

GPM [lit/min] = GPA [lit/ha] x MPH [km/h] x inches [cm]

5,940 [60,000]

EXAMPLE: 1) Application Pressure = 30 PSI

2) Target Application Rate = 20 GPA

3) Target Speed = 5.2 MPH

4) Nozzle Spacing = 20 inches

GPM = 20 GPA x 5.2 MPH x 20 inches = .35

5,940

Using GPM .35 and pressure 30 select tip number XR8004 from the chart below, since it

comes closest to providing the desired output.

VERIFYING FLOW RATE LIMITS:

The flow rate of spraying must be within the range of that specified for the Flow Meter included.

FLOW METER MODEL FLOW RANGE

RFM 5 0.05-5 GPM [0.2-18.9 lit/min]

RFM 15 0.3-15 GPM [1.1-56.8 lit/min]
